It’s not as out-and-out meanly funny as Best In Show, and Guest maybe might have leaned on a couple of the gags a little too hard, but my stomach still hurt from laughing afterward. Fred …

I didn’t see the last five minutes (Netflix sent me a dicked-up disc), but I liked what I did see; it’s a little too long, but the number of different ways Farina comes up with …
